DV 2021 AOS Only

Update- apparently, our notices were not lost. But it took almost 4 weeks for them to show up! Well, my name was swapped as mom expected and I tried to submit eRequest for typo error but the system gave an error. Then I tried to reach out a representative through Emma and she said she cannot help and finally I called the call center and she submitted the form for me. They said once the mistake is indicated, it will be corrected on the case and other notices won’t have the same problem. Btw, I asked about bio appointments and they said it should be scheduled in 30 days after the receipt notice was mailed out.

Glad to know the NOAs have shown up.
 
Hello everyone,

I contacted KCC about my 2NL that was not received. I sent them an email asking them to send me my 2nl and attached the pdf file of my DS-260 submission. They answered me today with this

"Thank you for your inquiry.
The adjustment of status fee to the Department of State has been paid or indications on your DS-260 show that you wanted to adjust your status in the US. The payment of the adjustment of status fee indicates to KCC that you are residing in the US and wish to process your case at the local USCIS office. As a result, KCC did not continue the processing your case.
To continue this case to consulate processing, please notify KCC with your request."

What does this mean?? Thank you everyone <3

It means you shouldn't have written to KCC asking for the 2NL, there was no need to do so. I already wrote on this thread about AOSers not asking KCC for the 2NL, because:
  1. "2NL" is not an official term, KCC doesn't know what that means - especially for AOSers.
  2. KCC sends a generic response to such a request indicating they do not send 2NL to AOSers because processing DV AOS application is not under their jurisdiction.
  3. The response they send tends to be confusing (as you've just found out) to such requests.

It means they know you want to AOS, and that fact means KCC no longer has anything to do with your case unless you change your mind and decide to do CP after all.

Hey mom, I did read the spreadsheet but I saw in some other forums where some people emailed KCC about their 2NL and they sent it to them so I thought I'm not losing anything here I can just email KCC; if I get it great if not then I'm back to square one. But I'm a bit confused to what @SusieQQQ said that KCC doesn't have anything to do with my case, I thought that AOS goes through KCC and CP goes through embassies? Excuse my lack of knowledge, there's a lot of information to assimilate.

Also mom, in the email KCC said "The adjustment of status fee to the Department of State has been paid or indications on your DS-260 show that you wanted to adjust your status in the US", if they received my payment then why haven't they sent me my receipt? lol

Special thanks to mom and Susie for always having my back and helping me out, you guys rock really!

No. KCC is Kentucky Consular Center - it deals with consular (embassy/consulate) issues ...like consular processing. Once you indicate you are doing AOS your case then falls entirely under USCIS and has nothing further to do with KCC.

That makes sense, and so KCC only takes the dv payment because it’s under its wing but once we file for ds-260 and commit to AOS then it goes under USCIS? Meaning when we file for our AOS package once our number is current it’s going to go to USCIS not KCC correct?
haha I love how you called me out on that Susie but I promise you I spent months researching and like I said it’s overwhelming so I get confused sometimes. I appreciate you clearing things up for us and I can always count on you and mom to call me out haha

1. My active interest in DV based AOS process is as far back as 2013, and not once have I come across a reputable report of an AOSer who emailed KCC for the 2NL and KCC emailed it as a result of that request. Yes people email or call KCC about the 2NL every year, and each time KCC’s response has been we don’t process AOSers. The 2NL subsequently gets sent BUT it is not as a result of the request that was sent it, KCC would have eventually sent what we refer to as the 2NL if those asking had been patient enough.

2. The email you got does not indicate KCC has received your payment. It is simply a generic response stating KCC is aware of your intention to process AOS either because you’ve made the administrative fee payment OR you’ve already submitted your DS260 form. It is not an admission of having received the payment in your specific case.

Side note (unsolicited of course): Realizing this is a life changing opportunity and a firm believer in every selectee’s decision to do whatever is legally permissible to ensure a successful outcome; over-analyzing several time tested proven-process and information available for free, going all over the place consuming every single information you come across from sources who clearly cannot differentiate between DV based AOS applications and other AOS applications or (DV based CP), e.t.c. will most likely create more issues for you. You will miss the obvious - as already demonstrated with your unresolved DV payment.
 
1. In form I-485 there is a question:
Are you applying for adjustment based on the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) section 245(i)?

Do I understand it correctly, that if I don't have overstays and have never been out of status and never performed unauthorized work, then I am answering NO to this question?

2. In question 13, there is a question regarding the priority date of an underlying petition. Do I understand it correctly, that DV doesn't have a priority date and should write N/A there?

Hey mom,

I understand. The only reason why I emailed KCC is that I haven't received the 2NL and as you know I'm filing soon. I have submitted my DS-260 since September and haven't received it yet. I saw in the past year forum someone said he emailed KCC and they sent it to him so I just wanted to try and see maybe that would work because KCC has made things super hard for me. I agree with everything else you said though.
 
Hello,

I just have few questions regarding the public charge rule and I appreciate anyone who can help:

1)During Spring 2020 (midst covid19) my parents couldn't send me money since banks were closed so I asked for emergency relief from my community college (it was $500). Is that something that can hurt my public charge inadmissibility?
2) I got a scholarship from my university (covers more than 50% of my tuition every year), would that be something I can include as a financial backup for the public charge?

I appreciate the help everybody
 
My case number is quite high and I think it can become current only in late Spring/Summer 2021.

I am a student with F-1 visa and want to apply for an internship for summer 2021 in the U.S. Can I apply for Curricular Practical Training (CPT) prior to applying for AOS (or at least CP, if I decide to go back to my home country for a month to have an interview there)?

1. Yes you can, if your school says you’re eligible to do so.
 
Hello.
Immediate suggestion needed.
1. Is it good to get health insurance from the marketplace if u are an international student who wish to apply AOS in the future?
2.Previously I had enrolled in marketplace health insurance for 2019 and 2020. Will these records be taken as negative factors for Public Charge and get AOS into trouble?
3. Can i apply for marketplace health insurance for 2021(jan to dec) if i am applying for AOS in 2021?

Marketplace insurance were very cheaper than college health insurance so i had to chose them (for 2019 and 2020) due to financial benefits.
